Chapter 4: Coming to a Conclusion
The next morning, Freddy was already in the kitchen when Katie came down.
"Hey Freddy."
"Mornin'" he mumbled, still half asleep.
"Why are you awake? You don't have to go to school."
"Firstly, its not that I don't have to go to school. It's that I cant. And Secondly, I couldn't sleep."
"Worried about her?"
"Yeah. I mean what if she stays in the state she's in, and never starts talking again?"
"Well… my next door neighbor is a psychiatrist. Maybe he can help her. I have a business card of his here somewhere. You can call him while I'm at school today."
She found the card and handed it to him. It said Dr. Nikolas Hutchenson 522-0756
"K, I'll give this guy a call."
"Well, I have to go now. See you later, and don't forget."
"Bye Katie."
Once every one except for Summer and Freddy had left Freddy went up to her room.
"Summer?" he said as he walked in, "This morning Katie told me about her neighbor, he's a psychiatrist, we think we should call him, but I don't want to unless you agree."
She looked at him and he saw uncertainty and sadness in her eyes. He knew what she was thinking.
"You know, nobody thinks you're crazy. We think you need to see him so he can help you." He said softly, "So can I call him?"
Silently she nodded. Freddy smiled, not only because she agreed to see Dr. Hutchenson, but also because she nodded. Another step to her talking again.
"Hello? De. Hutchenson?"
"Yes, May I help you?"
"My name is Freddy Jones."
"Oh, you're Katie's friend right?"
"Yeah, well, our friend Summer's mom died recently, and we're worried about her, she hasn't been talking. We thought maybe you could help her."
"When do you want me there?"
"When are you free?"
"I'm free right now. What's the address?"
"Oh, we're at Carmen's house."
"Okay, give me about fifteen minutes."
"Okay, thanks."
And they hung up. Freddy smiled knowing he did the right thing. For once.
Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, the doorbell rang. Freddy answered it.
"Freddy Jones" Said the tall, man. Freddy could see a very big resemblance to the Ken doll, Barbie's boyfriend.
"Dr. Hutchenson" Freddy replied with a nod, "She's upstairs, second door on the left."
"Thank you. And I'm sorry, I'm curious, why aren't you at school?"
Freddy put on a wicked grin, "Expelled". He loved to freak out adults. He found it hilarious the way their expressions would go from pleasant to disgusted in less than a second. But in this case, she didn't get the reaction he was looking for.
Dr. Hutchenson nodded, but couldn't hold back a grin. He knew exactly what reaction Freddy was looking for. He had done the same thing many times as a kid. Then he went upstairs to see Summer.
.:. Freddy's Thoughts .:.
It's been like three hours! What the hell is taking so long? Okay Freddy. Calm down. It hasn't been three hours… it's been like fifteen minutes. That Dr. Hutchenson guy seems pretty cool. When I said that I had been suspended he didn't give me some dirty look like most adults do when they find out I'm a "delinquent". I trust him with my Summer. Wait, MY Summer? Where did that come from? She's not mine. She's not anybody's. That's what I love about her. She's her own person. Not some sheep that only follows the crowd. And she's not a slut like some ex-girlfriends of mine. Hey I think I hear him coming down.
.:. End of Freddy's Thoughts .:.
Freddy was right. At that moment, Dr. Hutchenson came down the stairs.
"So…how'd it go?" Freddy asked
"Well, I don't want to give her anti-depressants, because there is a high risk of suicidal tendencies in teenagers taking them, so I'm thinking that I'll just come over once or twice a week and do what I can."
"That sounds good. Oh yeah, I was gonna ask you, who are you going to bill for all this?"
"Hmm…I don't think I'm going to be billing anybody for this."
"Really?"
Yeah. See Freddy, no ALL adults are bad people and only think about money." Freddy grinned, "Well, I'd better be going. See you soon."
Freddy smiled, he had a feeling in his gut that this Dr. Hutchenson guy was going to help Summer.
A/N: Well there's that chapter. And I'm soooo sorry for such a long wait for such a short chapter. But the good news is that I'm almost done with chapter five. So the next update wont be two months from now. Maybe a week or two, because this week I'm not gonna have much time. School starts Wednesday (ewww..I'm going to be a FRESHMAN) . And my birthday is tomorrow, which is the 9th. (Yay! I'm going to be 14!) And yeah. So please forgive me. And oh yes, about this chapter, I didn't really know how to make Dr Hutchenson talk, because I don't really know how shrinks talk. So I just did the best I could. And I'm so super excited about the next chapter. Its going to be so cute. At least I hope it will.
And I would like thank Vampirehelsing, RandomSmirf13, Nanners-77, Amy, I am not a chipmunk, coolestkidever, remussweetie, and SpikesDreamer for your reviews.
